Lance, that is a great read (the AGS concept).   The storage to ground 
through pipes is very clever (160 degree heat in summer, yipes).  He also 
added a bit of interesting knowledge about the difference between the 
climates of eastern Washington and Idaho, versus Colorado, where I know the 
winters can be exquisitely sunny.
